My work paid for a trip to Chicago to help set up their equipment. While there some co-workers and I explored the city. Trying various food and drinks. My last trip to Chicago was back in 2008 and a lot has changed. I also got to explore a part of the city I didn't really get to see last time. The gritty side of Lake View off Clark St. Needless to say I had a great time and would love to go back soon. Chicago is such a strange city. It's a big coastal size city but with midwest charm. I can't imagine another city like this to exist...ever.
